EES: Pre-register with the Travel to Europe app

On 12 October 2025, the European Union introduced the new Entry/Exit System (EES) in Sweden and other Schengen countries. The system replaces manual passport stamping and to facilitate border crossing, travelers to Sweden can now pre-register certain information using the Travel to Europe mobile app.

What is pre-registration?

With the app, non-EU nationals can:

  • Pre-register passport details
  • Upload a facial image (biometric photo)
  • Complete an entry conditions questionnaire
  • Do this within 72 hours prior to entering or leaving the Schengen area

Using the app is voluntary but may help speed up border procedures, as some information will already be available to border authorities.

Where to download the app

The Travel to Europe app is available on:

  • App Store (iOS)
  • Google Play (Android)
  • Other popular app marketplaces
